PA-1400209 <br /> March 3, 2015 <br /> Page 3 of 3 <br /> land rendered incompatible by the breach and 25 percent of the value of any <br /> incompatible building and related improvements on the land. A breach of Williamson Act <br /> contract is defined as material if a commercial, industrial, or residential building is all of <br /> the following: 1) not related to an agricultural or compatible use; 2) greater than 2,500 <br /> square feet; and 3) permitted or constructed after January 1, 2004. <br /> ADDITIONAL COMMENTS <br /> If the Board of Supervisors finds that there is a substantial reason to subdivide the <br /> properties pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act and Williamson Act, then it is advisable <br /> that the existing contract be rescinded and a new contract be entered into for each newly <br /> created parcel per Government Code §51254. The new contracts must provide for <br /> enforceable restrictions for each parcel for at least as long as the unexpired term of the <br /> contract being rescinded, but not less than 10 years. <br /> The Department recommends that any staff report and/or initial study include an <br /> evaluation of the significance of impacts in terms of the projects potential conflict with a <br /> Williamson Act contract, including potential growth inducement, loss of commercially <br /> viable agricultural land and cumulative effects. <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments. Please provide this Department <br /> with notices of any future hearing dates as well as any staff reports pertaining to this <br /> project. If you have any questions concerning our comments, please contact Meri <br /> Meraz, Associate Environmental Planner at (916) 445-9411 or at <br /> mi-neraz@conservation.ca.gov. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Molly A Penberth, Manager <br /> Division of Land Resource Protection <br /> Conservation Support Unit <br />
